Extension Usine Bobst, Mex
Short description
As a renowned industrial company active in the production of machines for manufacturing cardboard packaging, the client already had a site in the triangle formed by the municipalities of Villars-Ste-Croix, Vufflens-la-Ville and Mex, in the "En Fara" industrial zone near Lausanne.
The project
The large volumes defined by the program were developed primarily with industrial functionality in mind, while also meeting precise qualitative and economic requirements.
The buildings have a compact overall volume with a balanced geometry characterized by an imposing shed roof. The structures feature a metallic main supporting structure with several frames with triangular roof beams.
The crane runways of the 50-ton cranes are also used to absorb the horizontal forces and distribute them throughout the structure, fulfilling a dual function that is beneficial from a structural engineering perspective. In the roof area, a traditional system of rolled profiles with cover plates offers the right solution for this type of building.
